Q

Fertilization

A

Sperm can remain viable within the female reproductive tract for as long as six days

The egg is only available for 24 hours

It takes 72 hours for the egg to reach the uterus fertilization typically occurs in the distal third of the fallopian tubes

A team of sperm help make fertilization possible by clearing a path

Q

how fertilization works

A
  1. Hundreds of sperm swim the egg the acrosomes on the sperm heads release enzymes that break down the cells in the zona pellucida
  2. Because of the efforts of multiple sperm a path through the Zona eventually results allowing a single sperm to penetrate
  3. The nucleus of the sperm is released into the ovum as its tail degenerates and falls away
    - –The nucleus of the sperm fuses with the nucleus of the egg creating a single cells 46 chromosomes

Q

how the preembryotic stage works

A
  1. Prebiotic stage begins in fertilization forms a zygote with 46 chromosomes
  2. Within 24 to 36 hours the zygote divides by mitosis to form two daughter cells called blastomeres
  3. The mitotic division continue with the cells doubling with each division
    - —finally a BlackBerry like cluster of 16 cells called morula results
    - —Approximately 3 to 4 days after fertilization the morula enters the uterine cavity where it floats for two or three days
  4. As the morula continues to divide a hollow cavity forms and the morula is now called a blastocyst
    - —The blastocyst consists of an outer layer of cells called the trophoblast and an inner cell mass
    - —The trophoblast eventually formed the placenta and the inner cell mass becomes the embryo
  5. Implantation: About six days after ovulation the blastocyte attaches to the endometrium

Q

Implantation

A

The process of implantation takes about a week

  1. Open the blastocyst attaches to the endometrium the trophoblast cells on the side of the endometrium divide to produce two layers of cells
    - –The outer layer secretes enzymes that erode a gap in the endometrium
    - –As these other cells penetrate the endometrium the inner soul that separates from the trophoblast creating a narrow space called the amniotic cavity
  2. Inner cell mass flattens to form the embryonic discs
    - –Some of the cells on the interior portion of the embryonic disk multiply to form another cavity called the yolk sac
    - –Meanwhile the rapidly growing endometrium covers the top of the blastocyte burying it completely
  3. Embryonic desk gives rise to three layers called Jim layers which produce all the organs and tissues of the body
    - –The three germ layers are the ectoderm, mesoderm and endoderm

Q

Amnion

A

transparent sac that completely envelops the embryo

Filled with amniotic fluid which prevents the embryo from trauma as well as changes in temperature

Later the fetus will breed the fluid and swallow it

The volume remain stable because the fetus regularly urinates into the amniotic sac

Fetal stage
Encompasses the period from the eighth week until birth Primarily a stage of growth as organs that formed during the embryonic period grow and mature The fetus the lungs snort delivery quite a great deal of blood amongst our non-functioning in the liver is still immature therefore the Fetus circulatory system contains three Sean Circle of blood to bypass these organs
26
3 shunts
the Ductus venosus The foreman ovale The ductus arteriosu
27
the Ductus venosus The foreman ovale The ductus arteriosus
Ductus venosus: Shunts blood around the liver The foreman ovale: an opening between the two atria Shunts blood directly from the right atrium to the left The ductus arteriosus: verts blood from right ventricle to the pulmonary artery bypass in the lungs play have a nice here
28
how circulatory system works during fetal stage
1. Oxygen rich blood enters the fetus through the umbilical cord Vein 2. Most of the blood bypasses delivered by flowing through the ductus venosus into the inferior vena cava - ---Placental blood from the umbilical vein then merges with fetal blood from the IVC as it flows to the heart 3. Blood flows into the right atrium most of the blood cells directly into the left atrium through the foramen ovale bypassing the lungs 4. Blood that does not flow through the foramen ovale flows into the right ventricle and then into the pulmonary trunk - ---From there the blood flows through the ductus arteriosus and into the descending aorta again bypassing the lung 5. Oxygen depleted waste filled blood flows through to umbilical arteries to the placenta - ---The placenta than cleanses the blood reading of carbon dioxide and waste products reoxygenating it and returns it to the fetus through the umbilical vein
29
Week 4
The brain spinal cord and heart begin to develop The GI tract begins to form The heart begins to beat about day 22 Tiny buds that will become arms and legs are visible Length 0.25inch
30

The face is well formed Arms are long and thin gender distinguishable The liver produces bile The fetus swallows amniotic fluid and produces urine Eyes are well developed but the eyelids are fused shut Length 3.54 inches
32
Week 16
The scalp has hair Lips begin sucking movements The skeleton is visable The heartbeat can be heard with a stethoscope Kidneys are well formed Length 5.5 inches
33
Week 20
Lanugo: covers the body which in turn is covered by vernix caseosa vernix caseosa: a white cheese like substance fetal movement (quickening) can be felt nails appear on fingers and toes length 8 inches
34
week 24
the fetus has a startle reflex lungs begin producing surfactant skin wrinkled and translucent the fetus gains weight rapidly length 11.8
35
week 28
eyes open and close the respiratory although immature is capable of gas exchange at 28 weeks testes begin to descend into the scrotum the brain develops rapidly length 14.8 inches
36
week 32
The amount of body fat increases rapidly Rhythmic breathing movements began although lungs are still immature Bones are fully formed although they are still soft Length 16.7 inches
37
Week 36
More subcutaneous fat is deposited Lanugo has mostly disappeared although its still present on the upper arms and shoulders Length 18.5 inches
38
Week 39 and 40
The fetus is considered full-term The average full term infant measures approximately 20 inches long and weighs 7-7.5lbs
39
Physical changes during pregnancy digestive system
- Nausea and vomiting commonly occur during the first three months the cause is unknown - Constipation often results from decreased intestinal motility - Heartburn frequently occurs later in the pregnancy as the enlarged uterus presses upward on the stomach - Basal metabolic rate rises about 15% during the second half of the pregnancy and the mother appetite increases
40
Physical changes during pregnancy Circulatory system
- Mothers blood volume increases 30% to 50% - Cardiac output increases 30% of 40% by week 27 as the uterus demands more blood heart rate also increases - ----Later in the pregnancy the uterus exerts pressure on the pelvic blood vessels interfering with venous return hemorrhoids, varicose veins, and swelling in the feet may result
41
Physical changes during pregnancy Respiratory system
- Ventilation increases about 50% to meet the developing fetus increased demand for oxygen - Late in the pregnancy the enlarged uterus pushes against the die from often cousin shortness of breath - ---Increased estrogen levels cause the nasal mucosa to swell resulting in nasal stuffiness
42
Physical changes during pregnancy Urinary system
- An increase in Aldosterone Promotes water and salt retention by the kidneys - Glomular filtration rate increases to deal with the added burden of disposing pf the fetus’ waste this leads to a slightly elevated urine output - ---Later in pregnancy the enlarged uterus presses on the bladder and reduces its capacity; this leads to increased frequency of urination
43
Physical changes during pregnancy Integumentary system
- The skin of the abdomen grows and stretches to accommodate the expanding uterus often leading to stretch marks or striae - Skin over the breasts also grows as breasts enlarge in preparation for milk production - An increase in melanocyte stimulating hormone and estrogen darkens areola and creates a line of pigment from the umbilicus to the pubis called linea nigra - --Melanin production may also discolor skin on the face to create chloasma or “mask of pregnancy”
44
Physical changes during pregnancy Uterus
- The uterus enlarges dramatically during first 16 weeks of gestation it grows from the size of a fist until it occupies most of the pelvic cavity - As pregnancy continues the uterus expands until it reaches the level of the xiphoid process and fills most of the abdominal cavity - ---The uterus increases from its nonpregnant weight of 0.1lbs to about 2lbs by the end of pregnancy
45
The onset of labor is thought to result from several factors including:
A decline in progesterone: The release of oxytocin (OT):
46
A decline in progesteron
progesterone inhibits uterine contractions After 6 months of gestation the level of progesterone declines The level of estrogen which stimulates uterine contractions continues to rise Falling levels of progesterone combined with rising levels of estrogen lead to uterine irritability
47
The release of oxytocin (OT)
toward the end of the pregnancy the posterior pituitary releases more oxytocin at the same time the uterus becomes increasingly sensitive to oxytocin Peking just before labour Oxytocin causes the fetal membranes to release prostaglandins Uterine stretching: stretching increases contractility
48
3 stages of labour
dilation, expulsion and placental stages
49
Parturition
the process of giving birth
50
Stage 1: dilation of the cervix
Lasts 6 to 18 hours
51
Primipara | Multipara
Primipara: women giving birth for first time Multipara: women who have previously given birth
52
Cervical effacement
the progressive thinning of the cervical walls
53
Stage 2: expulsion of the baby
Begins when cervix is fully dilated- ends when baby is born Lasts 30-60mins in primiparous women but can be much shorter in multiparous women
54
Episiotomy
a surgical incision is sometimes made between the vagina and anus to enlarge the vaginal opening
55
Stage 3: delivery of the placenta
Involves the delivery of afterbirth: the placenta, amnion and other fetal membranes Lasts 5 to 30 minutes
56
changes in neonates cardiovascular system
pressure changes in the heart cause the foramen ovale to shut and pressure changes in the pulmonary artery and aorta lead to the collapse of the ducts arteriosus
57
changes in neonates respiratory system
although most neonates begin breathing spontaneously the first few breaths require considerable effort as they work to inflate collapsed alveoli
58
changes in neonates immune system
neonates have weak immune systems at birth placing them at risk for an infection
59
changes in neonates thermoregulation
neonates risk becoming hypothermic because their surface area in relationship to their size is larger than in a adult
60
changes in neonates fluid balance
neonates require a fairly high fluid intake because their immature kidneys do not concentrate urine adequately
